Psycho Goreman, directed by Steven Kostanski ***

A cute yet gutsy spill of a horror film that has an evil monster visiting two kids who take control of him through this magic token type beamer light they find in the ground.

Mimi, the sister of Luke is a sassy, kick-ass brat, magnificently played by Nita-Josee Hanna. However, unlucky Luke is constantly bullied by her. So, this campy horror flick, packed with conflicts needs no pithy plot explanation; rather it is the relationships in this family that cause the malice with household moments of huge dysfunction – so despite all the ugly monsters unleashed in the film, the real earthly monsters are embodied in the human species.

The special effects, fabulous costumes and whacky humorous scenes with clever schtick are quite above the usual horror stuff.

The guy who plays the cop turned into a zombie is the scene stealer. His movements are utterly entertaining and imaginative – putting  new twists to the zombie walk.
